[ Nikolai actually stops disassembling the bed, looking over at Noah and blinking in surprise. His friend's curse doesn't sound at all like what Nikolai had been expecting.
(And some part of him registers, with a surprising amount of relief, that Noah still counts this cursed girl as one of his friends, in spite of the fact that she's cursed. That's reassuring.) ]
That's surprisingly devious. How is she even supposed to know who her true love is?
[ Zoya is always teasing Nikolai for his romantic streak, but even he doesn't believe in love at first sight. And as for something as nebulous as a 'true love', well, how the hell is anyone supposed to really know if they've found that person? ]
If she can't be sure, that makes the prospect of kissing anyone at all rather dangerous, doesn't it?
[ He goes back to loosening the screws, managing to get one of the legs of the bed free and setting it aside so he can move on to another. Noah's tepid response to his offer brings a wry smile to Nikolai's lips. ]
Not exactly the most enthusiastic response I've ever heard.
